Your arms only have so much before they give. When you’re pressed for time to the degree that you can’t even find a bathroom, every second counts.

I can tell that you’ve never driven for Amazon.

It’s an even larger waste of energy to have to open and close that door hundreds of times a day.

So downvote and move on, instead of being an ass and cluttering up the discussion with shit that doesn’t matter.

Xbox/Windows? EA? Ubisoft? Hell, Blizzard? A lot of publishers run their own launchers/stores. I agree they’re largely irrelevant, but they’re all still active so they must bring in some revenue.

Twist it

thank mr skeletal

I wonder if the dude happened to find an internally documented backdoor intended for use by government actors? Or most likely they just don’t wanna deal with it and the perceived fastest way to deal with it is to try and bury it. Both could be true, but I’m just speculating.

THEY JUST HAVE TO PEE!

Don’t you love when you play devil’s advocate and everyone assumes you support something? It’s called having a bit of perspective, people. Yes, it was a shitty thing to do. People generally don’t do shitty things without some kind of reason, usually a ‘selfish’ one.

The simplest explanation is that dude needed more money, couldn’t otherwise make it, so he tried to game the system. He failed, likely because he didn’t consider where that money was coming from. Had the company he’s driving for paid a decent wage in the first place, dude would likely not have been incentivized to game the system.

EDIT: I want to be really clear: I do not support what the dude did. At all. His reasoning for doing so may be valid, but his actions were not.

I wholeheartedly agree. You should also be able to fix it if it breaks, and find replacement parts fairly easily. Hell, you should be able to make reasonable upgrades if you want.

If you only knew about the materials extraction, refining, manufacture, and assembly of electronics. It’s immensely complex and relies on legions of underpaid workers in a huge variety of different specialties. 99% of them aren’t paid nearly enough for the labor they contribute to the system, and even less for the knowledge they have. Never mind the actual development of the software to run on the hardware. The whole thing is designed from the ground up to literally extract as much wealth from the Earth itself as humanly possible, and they try to double dip at every opportunity.

Something the money that Meta won’t be paying won’t be paying for.

Texas doesn’t have income taxes, so property taxes are the only way cities can raise money. People love to bitch about high property taxes and then wonder why the cities they live in suck…

Sorry chooms, I won’t be chippin’ in.

I mean, what do you expect them to do? Shit’s hard, nobody has any savings. I sure as shit wouldn’t want to lose my job just because management gives everyone some new bullshit metric to be aware of, especially if it can be made a non-issue.

Anything to avoid learning to empathize with others, eh?
